“The refusal to take sides on great moral issues is itself a decision. It is a silent acquiescence to evil. The Tragedy of our time is that those who still believe in honesty lack fire and conviction, while those who believe in dishonesty are full of passionate conviction.”
AUTHOR: Venerable Fulton
John Sheen (born Peter John Sheen, May 8, 1895 – December 9, 1979)
was an American bishop (later archbishop) of the Catholic Church known for his
preaching and especially his work on television and radio. His cause for canonization
as a saint was officially opened in 2002. In June 2012, Pope Benedict XVI
officially recognized a decree from the Congregation for the Causes of Saints
stating that he lived a life of "heroic virtues" – a major step
towards beatification – so he is now referred to as "Venerable".
